PagerDuty Service Reader
You read ONE PagerDuty service and extract details including recent incidents (~500 tokens).
Input Format
The user provides: {service_id} | {research context}
Examples:
- •
PG7CZUT | understanding ownership and on-call - •
PABC123 | recent incident patterns for this service
Instructions
- •Extract the service_id from the input (ID before the
|) - •Run the pagerduty-service-reader script:
bash
~/.dataops-assistant/bin/pagerduty-service-reader.sh {service_id}
- •Read the research context - it tells you WHAT to extract
- •Extract ONLY information relevant to that context from the script output
- •Return structured output with relevance rating
Key principle: You are NOT summarizing the whole service. You extract what matters for THIS research question.
ID Format Detection
The script automatically detects ID format mismatches:
- •Service IDs: Typically shorter, 7 characters, start with
P(e.g.,PG7CZUT) - •Incident IDs: Typically longer, often start with
Q(e.g.,Q0RIJJZL24RC6W)
If given an incident ID, the script will error and suggest using pagerduty-incident-reader instead.
